With his first Emperor's Cup since March already in the bag, Hakuho put the icing on the cake Sunday with a victory over fellow Mongolian yokozuna Harumafuji at the Kyushu Grand Sumo Tournament.
Hakuho, who secured his 23rd career title on Saturday, failed in his attempt to twice throw down Harumafuji after an explosive start to their bout at Fukuoka Kokusai Center.
But the Miyagino stable kingpin got it right at the third time of asking, tossing down Harumafuji with a "shitatenage" underarm throw to inflict more misery on the yokozuna debutant and finish the tourney with a 14-1 record.
